Pomeranian Bread Dumplings image

Another recipe compiled from old recipes used in Pomerania, an ancient Germany region abutting the Baltic Sea, divided between Germany and Poland after World War II. The dumplings are very unusual in that they contain a combination of bread, meat, and dried fruit, and therefore can be served as an appetizer or as a very rich accompaniment to fowl, game, or pork dishes. I like to serve them with turkey at Thanksgiving, making dried cranberries one of the ingredients.

Time 9h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup rum
⅔ pound dried cranberries
¾ cup red wine
1 teaspoon lemon zest, or to taste
1 whole clove
1 pound all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
2 eggs
salt to taste
¼ pound slab bacon, cubed
¼ pound bologna, cubed
2 stale dinner rolls, cubed

Steps:

  • Combine cranberries and rum in a bowl; soak cranberries in rum, 8 hours to over night. Drain and discard rum.
  • Combine cranberries, red wine, lemon zest, and clove together in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until flavors combine, about 15 minutes. Strain cranberries; discard wine and clove.
  • Beat flour, milk, eggs, and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl until air bubbles form.
  • Cook and stir bacon, bologna, and bread cubes in a large skillet over medium-high heat until lightly browned and crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Cool in skillet.
  • Transfer bacon mixture and all accumulated pan drippings to flour mixture; stir until an elastic dough forms.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; reduce heat to medium-high to maintain a rapid simmer. Butter a warm baking dish.
  • Working in batches, form dough into dumplings using two large spoons; drop dumplings into simmering water. Cook until dumplings are set, about 15 minutes. Transfer cooked dumplings to prepared baking dish, cover the dish, and keep in a warm place until ready to serve. Top dumplings with cranberry mixture.

These dumplings were a bit too dense for my taste, but they were still good. I would probably make them again, but I would adjust the recipe a bit to make them lighter.

These dumplings were a waste of time and ingredients. They were bland and tasteless.

I've tried making these dumplings a few times, but I can never seem to get them right. They always turn out too dry.

These bread dumplings were a hit at our dinner party! They were light and fluffy, with a slightly tangy flavor. The addition of bacon and onion gave them a nice savory touch. I will definitely be making these again.
